Dr Christmas posted:World War I/Death Korps of Kreig-looking mofo in the lower left. Interesting what with the author's comment that the demiurges keep firearm technology on the level of flintlocks. To hoarde the better stuff for themselves, so Mottom may have more advanced guns.

wiegieman posted:Jagganoth has most of the modern military hardware. True, but that's probably better than WW1 era tech. Given how Jagganoth is apparently way more powerful than any of the other individual demiurges and was only forced to peace by the rest of them together, I wonder if Allison is going to collapse two or three of the others and then he'll seize total power.

Given that each world is a story told by a single god, I really want to see Aesma's. That's gotta be some hilarious poo poo. Also wanna see Koss's. Tollymain posted:why did the gods banish their Servants from their city? if the prime angels did not know the gods, who exactly put them there? why was heaven emptied, locked, and left to crumble? I assume the prime angels did know the Gods. Abbadon said Metatron is the only one that has memories of them, but apparently angels lose their specific memories during reincarnation. He was simply the only one from that era that never died. Both humans and servants originated from Throne, and were both banished into the multiverse upon its creation. Presumably to populate it, as it seems the multiplicity Gods couldn't create the flame of sapience themselves; Koss only did it with flames he took from the corpses of YIS and UN.

Clearly we just need to get our Mars colony self-sustaining before Mottom invades. I wonder if the Demiurges have ever come across an interplanetary civilisation. Or a universe where life exists on more than one world. (In universes like ours where there actually is outer space and such)

wiegieman posted:There are plenty of universes full of planets and aliens and such. Aliens, though... it seems like true intelligence must come from the flame, and thus be one of the inheritors. Of course, a God may have told a universe where sustainers were aliens. I'm just wondering if life scattered across a galaxy would've been safe from the Demiurges when they came to that Earth.

Oh man, early spaceflight would make for a great story. A technological world, not far ahead of our own, invaded by magical superwarrors that can knock aside their nukes and armies with ease, driving them back to the stone age and ravaging them. But the invaders have no idea that out there, beyond the planet, were a handful of colonists, miners, scientists... no weapons, struggling for their own survival, powerless to do anything but look on in horror for entire generations as they fight to keep going without support from their homeworld, afraid to even venture too close for fear of being seen, slowly building their population and growing and establishing themselves whilst beneath them their people are ravaged... until they can finally begin to plan their return.

According to the tumblr, Mottom's will is so powerful it's like she carries real space with her when in the void, which is how the assembled palace can travel so conveniently. I assume the other Demiurges might be the same.

Loving this little bit from the tumblr:quote:In my travels, I came across an obscure, unconquered world. I was surprised to find a book which contained an account of the life of God-King Solomon David, who even in this backwater, which knew nothing of the Concordance or the Wheel, was regarded as a paragon of wisdom! To demonstrate this, it told the tale of two prostitutes who came before him with a babe, each claiming it as their own. The God-King rendered a judgement that amazed all who witnessed. How close is this tale to the truth?

The only way I can see her surviving is the Master Key making her automatically immune, which would feel a bit of a letdown. I'm sure Abbadon will surprise me, though.

There's also the possibility that Mottom thinks that the prophecy is inevitable and unstoppable, in which case the successor's girlfriend (as she thinks) is a pretty good bargaining chip or tool in securing herself a decent spot post-successor.

Cathair posted:I didn't think of that, but it just reinforces my notions from a different angle- it means they were badass enough to kill the old-guard demiurges in a war where everyone had keys. Perhaps. Or the badarse old-guard mostly killed each other. Or by the end, the seven were the only actual alliance left, and could easily take on individual demiurges no matter how badarse. I also suspect that Jadis's abilities may have counted for more than we think.

Archenteron posted:I mean Jadis has successfully looked at the shape of the Universe and survived the experience. Whether that was due to the carbonite freezing or resulted in it is still unknown, but knowledge is power and she undoubtedly has hella knowledge. Mmmm, but I wonder if the victory of the seven-part pact entirely required her foreknowledge. Maybe that she lacked the physical power to win herself even with her vision, but the other six wouldn't have remotely come close to winning without it. I mean, I'm sure the victory of the pact required each of their skills, but I wouldn't be surprised if she was the real key. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 09:09 on Apr 14, 2016 |

Begemot posted:I'm wondering if Jagganoth was contacted by the Thorns or some third, as yet unknown faction of angels. On the one hand, iron feathers definitely sounds up 6 Juggernaut Star's alley. But on the other, none of the thorns actually have wings anymore, and Jagganoth himself was angry about them showing up in his worlds. So if he is working for the thrones, he doesn't know it, or they had a falling out at some point. Remember, Metatron's original plan was to scour the multiverse of man, but he's since changed his mind and would prefer to control the successor. So back when genocide was his plan, he entered the mind of Jagganoth and turned him into his pawn for that purpose; but now, it's too late to stop him and they're working at cross-purposes.

I wonder if, given the apparently inevitability of Jagganoth destroying them all, if there's been any attempt by the other six to make a new pact and take him out now. I mean, if the writing is that obviously on the wall...

Allison technically has the information she needs now: where Zaid is being held. She's getting a lot more to go with it, so good reason not to try to leave for the moment, but I wonder if Mottom would be able to stop her dimension-hopping back to Void (and then on to Throne or somewhere else) if Mottom decides to kill her. Of course, maybe Mottom can follow her. But... oh dear, if the Palace is held up by her will... MikeJF fucked around with this message at 16:47 on Apr 26, 2016 |
